Megakaryocyte Size in Thrombocytopenic and Normal Rats
Shirley Ebbe,Frederick Stohlman,Joan Overcash,Joan Overcash,Janet Donovan,Janet Donovan,Donald Howard,Donald Howard +7 more
TL;DR: The findings suggested that thrombocytopenia affected megakaryocytopoiesis at the precursor cell level with resultant macrocytosis in rats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Megakaryocyte maturation rate in thrombocytopenic rats.
TL;DR: Increased production of platelets was apparent during recovery from acute thrombocytopenia in rats and there was acceleration of maturation of megakaryocytes as determined from the pattern of labeling with 3HTdR.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stem cell response to thrombocytopenia.
TL;DR: It was found that colony-forming units (CFU) increased in the spleens of thrombocytopenic donors, but these CFU did not show more of a tendency to form megakaryocytes than normal CFU.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Difference Between Stem Cells from Marrow and Spleen in Initiating Splenic Megakaryocytopoiesis
TL;DR: There is an intrinsic difference between stem cells in the marrow and those in the spleen of normal mice, and this finding indicates that there is a intrinsic difference in stem cells from spleen than marrow.
